NAMI is sporadic in their availability. They were horrible in Baltimore, I had to use my SIL who worked for national to get ANY response. If this is your case, check with your health department. I...
I made an announcement at our back to school night that we have a TRUE peanut allergy (every other "peanut allergy" student eats Chick Fil A every week) and I got nasty responses from parents that I...
